Notes -
With respect to the odd levels of tolerance that liberals and institutions show toward various degrees of, shall we say, "illiberal and unwoke" behavior from Muslims: does anyone actually believe that a "white" Western convert to Islam would be shown even a portion of this tolerance extended "brown" Muslims, should he do anything that would get a Christian "trad" in trouble with the likes of CFS? Because I once again came across someone glibly making that claim, and I still find it utterly implausible. (I'm reminded of Fred Thompson's first episode on Law & Order.)
Perhaps the deciding factor here isn't the progressive's interpretation of the white Muslim convert's racial status directly, but rather whether the progressive perceives that the broader Muslim community has accepted them as part of the in-group.
